Remember the days when your pressure cooker would fill you with dread? You had to make sure you didn’t get too close unless absolutely necessary and then when you had to take it off the stove you had to run it under cold water until the lids would release. Well fortunately those days are gone with the new style of pressure cookers available today.

This processor has only one speed but this is all that is really needed in a food processor as the consistency of the food is controlled by how long you process it for and not the speed. This is also where the pulse control comes into play.

The work bowl is an 11 cup capacity so should be large enough to handle most tasks. If anything it is probably too large for some of the smaller jobs. For instance, you may be better off cutting a small amount of parsley by hand rather than use the processor as the effort of trying to scrape the contents from the side of the bowl and having to clean it up after, may not be worth all the effort. This is probably suitable for a family but may not be worth the effort for one person or even a couple. A smaller cup processor may be a better option.

The dough blade is made from hard plastic but is in contrast to the Cusinart Power Prep model which has a stainless steel dough blade. If you are purchasing this more for the dough kneading option than anything else then you are probably better off with the Power Prep. The stainless steel dough blade is supposed to be a better option as it is provides a smoother knead of the dough.

One important factor to remember about food processors is that they are not blenders. We often see complaints about liquid seeping out of their food processor and we’re not just talking about this particular model – it seems to be a common complaint for a number of different food processors. This is because food processors don’t work in the same way as a blender and they just don’t handle liquids well. If you want to process a lot of liquids then buy a blender. For anything else, buy a food processor.

What’s Included

11 cup work bowl

One standard steel blade

Dough blade

Two slicing discs

One shredding disc

Instructional video/DVD – you may get one or the other

Large and small feed tubes

Recipe Booklet

Spatula

5 year warranty on the motor

3 year limited warranty on the entire unit

What We Like

The machine can knead up to 3lb of bread dough.

It has a large feeding tube which means you can put in whole fruits and vegetables. This saves you the time of cutting the food into smaller portions first just to feed into the feeder.

The work bowl is shatter proof, heat and cold resistant.

The parts are dishwasher safe.

Overall this is quite a good food processor although it has received mixed reviews on the internet for it. If you have some extra dollars to spend then we would recommend the Cuisinart Power Prep Food Processor which has received outstanding reviews.

Now this is a great idea. If you have a Cuisinart food processor then you might have your blades and discs stored in a plastic Tupperware container or in a drawer. But wouldn’t it be nice if they were stored in a container made especially for them?

The benefit of using this holder is that it is a lot safer than storing in a drawer where you can easily cut your fingers when looking around for the right blade or disc to use. It also keeps them away from the kiddies.

Storing you blades in this holder also prevents the blades from dulling as compared to say placing them in a drawer where they may move around a lot easier.

This holder stores the chopping and dough blades, the disc stem and up to 3 discs and is suitable for all 7, 11 and 14 cup food processors or at least according to the Cuisinart website.

However, there have been a number of reviews on Amazon from people complaining that this doesn’t suit the Cuisinart DLC-5 food processor which is a 7 cup food processor. So you might want to keep that in mind if you own one of these.

Another complaint about this product is the fact that you require two hands to open the lid. This is more of a safety issue than anything as it is intended to keep children from getting easy access to the blades.

Some consumers were also concerned by the fact that the holder does not have a bottom so picking it up can involve touching the blades.

Even so apart from these issues, this product has been rated extremely well by consumers. They loved how it kept their blades stored neatly and within easy reach and how it protected the blades compared to other storage methods.

The Cuisinart Power Prep Plus Food Processor (DLC-2014N) is one of those products that is not only rated well by those in the business but also rated well by consumers themselves.

The Cooks Illustrated Catalogue recommends it and consumer reviews for this product are outstanding.

This Cuisinart 14-c. Premier Series Power Prep Plus Food Processoris a power horse of a machine that will process through anything. I love the fact that you can put whole pieces of fruits and vegetables into this. This definitely saves on the time you would normally have in cutting and preparing foods to fit through a smaller feeder tube.

The other new feature of this model is that it comes with a stainless steel dough blade. In the past, Cuisinart have used a plastic dough blade. The new metal blade provides for smoother kneading of dough.

Other things to consider

The processor comes with an instructional video. It would be better if it were a DVD but I notice that the Cuisinart site itself indicates that a DVD is included. Both Cooking.com and Amazon state that a video is included. In other words, you may get one or the other so be prepared.
